The Guelph Fund.
The Emperor William is acting, Bays the World not only with strict justice, but with generosity, in the pecuniary settlement with the Duke of Cumberland which is now in pro cess of arrangement. The Emperor knows that he is proceeding in ac cordance with the earnest wishes oi the Emperors William I. and Frederick, and it is possible that his zeal may be stimulated by the fact that Prince Bisniark, who hated tho Guelphs as heartily as Lord Palmers 1 ton detested the Bourbons, was always furiously opposed to any compromise with the Duke of Cum* berland, who on his part was firm in resisting the efforts of the Queen the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Denmark to induce him to make ft surrender to the Prussian Govern* jnent. Tho duke could afford to maintain an inflexible attitude, as he was already in possession of the mv mense private fortune of King George, who removed all his securities, his beßfc pictures, the family jewels (estimated to be worth nearly half a million sterling), and all his plate (including the famous •' silver treasure " of the Royal House of Hanover, which altogether weighs atout twelve tons, and which is now at Gmunden), to England, before war broke out in 1806.
